If porn objectifies women, the same must be said of men. I haven't seen a whole lot of porn that doesn't feature a cock somewhere or other.
Porn stars, just like stars of most other fields, are paid very well.
I don't believe people (in general) get involved in porn unless they want to. The evidence of this to me - and like you, I have no sources - comes from the number of people who are willing to post pornographic pictures of themselves on the net for free just because they like knowing people like looking at them. There's a voyeur and an exhibitionist in most of us. It's just that some people are brought up to think it's wrong or dirty to allow yourself to be turned on by watching or showing.
There are plenty of anime versions of porn out there which some people find a turn on. I suppose that's the start of the whole online CGI porn, although there have been cartoon porn figures ever since ink went to print as you say.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for myself, I much prefer real images of people rather than cartoons or created images. For people like me, I don't think CGI would ever do, but I'm sure there'll be a market for it. That being said, I don't think it affects or improves the argument about objectification at all unless people are somehow going to suddenly start being turned on most often by non-human porn.
